What does updating motherboard chipset drivers do?

[statue12]

Im thinking of updating my chipset drivers for my motherboard, but im wondering what does it do. Does it improve the computers performance in any way.

could be just fixing bugs or could be increased performance, it's probably worth doing, but make sure you get them directly from the board's manufacturer, nothing third party

You should generally update the drivers, there's almost no reason not to.
